Thus humble let me live and
die,
Nor long for Midas' golden
touch;
If Heaven more generous gifts
deny,
I shall not miss them much, ---
Too grateful for the blessing
lent
Of simple tastes and mind
content!
Oliver Wendell Holmes
Remember to pray for:
Those who are on the battlefield of freedom in Iraq and Afghanistan
And for the sick who are often fighting a lonely battle.
And for our brothers and sisters in the southern states.
Our brothers and sisters in Joplin Missouri
Our friends in Eastern PA. who experienced flooding and our friends in
N.Y. also suffering the hardship of flooding.
All children who will be spending Christmas in the hospital
